The formation of $\mathrm{CO}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ illustrates the law of

A
reciprocal proportion
B
conservation of mass
Correct answer
C
multiple proportion
D
constant composition

Solution

Formation of $\mathrm{CO}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ illustrates the law of multiple proportion that is constant mass of $\mathrm{C}$ reacts with different masses of oxygen. These masses here bears simple ratio of 1: 2 .

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
